Oxidative stress and replication-independent DNA breakage induced by arsenic in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Arsenic is a well-established human carcinogen of poorly understood mechanism of genotoxicity. It is generally accepted that arsenic acts indirectly by generating oxidative DNA damage that can be converted to replication-dependent DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), as well as by interfering with DNA r...
